Sometimes in life, it feels like we are in a catapult where we are pulled back before we can go forward. It is often adversity that creates the tension needed to release the energy that thrusts us forward and lets us reach higher.

Learning outside of the classroom used to be considered an option, now it is to use today’s phrasing the “new normal.”
